Transorbs

Transorbs are a fictional species originating from the science fiction universe of "Star Trek: The Next Generation." They were first introduced in the episode "The Outrage." Transorbs are depicted as small, sentient beings composed of pure energy. They possess the ability to absorb and metabolize energy sources from their surroundings, which is crucial for their survival. These beings are not physically imposing and lack a defined corporeal form, instead appearing as shimmering or glowing entities. Their intelligence is considerable, though their communication methods are not fully understood, often involving complex energy emissions. Transorbs are generally passive and avoid conflict, preferring to exist in environments rich with ambient energy. Their existence in the Star Trek lore highlights the diverse forms life can take in the galaxy, extending beyond organic or mechanical structures. While their exact origins and life cycle remain largely a mystery, they represent a unique and intriguing concept within the expansive Star Trek narrative.
